GE / SourceCheck

SourceCheck enables GE Sourcing teams to find insights in order to make time-sensitive decisions and take action. Designed to help you negotiate by giving you fast access to historical data on orders and suppliers, the app also provides alerts so you can monitor specific parts, suppliers, or situtations closely when needed.

The Process.

Utilizing GE's Fastworks Methodology, our team moved through each phase of Discovery, Proof of Concept, Design, Build, and Evaluations with testing along the way and in between each step.

Discovery & Interviews.

To learn more about our users, we conducted interviews with different roles within the organization including Commodity Leaders, Sourcing Leaders, Manufacturing Leaders, Engineers, and field operations.

Proof of Concept.

Once we had a grasp of the business goals, and had organized the results of the user interviews, we quickly moved forward with an initial Proof of Concept (POC) to share and get early feedback from our future users.

Sketches & Wireframes.

Visual Design.

Designed for Easy Scanning.

Through user testing and iterations we found that this vertical layout showing the inventory for each supplier made it easy to make a visual comparison. That paired with numeric values created a super quick way for users to go after the information they needed.

Results.

In the past it would take a day and a half to acquire the PO information; with this app, I get it in 5 seconds. It’s fantastic!
